... For the overall population, the algorithm achieved an AUC score of 0.90 and 0.87 for patients over the age of 55 years. Guo et al. trained ML models on low-dose CT and found an accuracy of 0.6778, a F1 score of 0.6575, a sensitivity of 0.6252, and a specificity of 0.7357 [45]. More notably, the interactive pathways were BMI, DM, first smoke age, average drinks per month, years of smoking, year(s) since quitting smoking, sex, last dental visit, general health, insurance, education, last PAP test, and last sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. ...
